Four players represented Wake Forest women’s tennis in Cary over the last several days.
CARY, N.C. – Wake Forest women's tennis wrapped its stay in nearby Cary for the 2025 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American Championships on Tuesday afternoon, as four Demon Deacons competed through stages of pre-qualifying and qualifying play.
In all, the Deacs recorded four wins in singles and two in doubles. Redshirt junior Krystal Blanch and sophomore Kady Tannenbaum won their first two respective solo matches to open up the pre-qualifying round.
Senior Nevena Carton was the lone Demon Deacon to appear in the qualifying stage, competing in singles.
In doubles, the tandems of Krystal Blanch/Jingyi Li and Nevena Carton/Kady Tannenbaum earned a win apiece.

From Coach Wyshner
"We had some really great moments and some tougher times as well," said head coach Jeff Wyshner. "That's typical of any September tournament, but given the quality of the players at a national-level event, it was exciting to see the promise in how Nevena, Jingyi, Krystal and Kady all played. We won six matches in a highly selective national field. That was great to see, and the losses will guide us on what we want to work on between now and Regionals."
Up Next
Wake Forest will have a couple weeks of break from competition before partaking in the ITA Carolina Regional (Oct. 16-21), hosted by the University of North Carolina.
